Document Summary
The external genitals for a woman are a bit more complex than of a man because they are not readily visible. The external genitals are referred to as the vulva. They consist of the mons veneris, labia majora, the labia minora, the urethra opening, clitoral glans (or tip) of the clitoris, the vaginal opening, the hymen, the perineum, and the anus. Mount of venus and sometimes called the mons pubis. Raised layer of fatty tissue on top of the pubic bone and is usually covered with pubic hair. Part of its function is to cushion the impact with the public bone during sexual intercourse. Structures of folds of skin and fatty tissue extend from the mons down both sides of the vuvla, past the vaginal opening to the perineum. The labia majora close over and protect the major more sensitive and delicate genital structures underneath them. Vary in size shape hair and skin tone.
